A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-m-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to the cylindrical fuselage, and aerodynamic shaping gives it a drag coefficient of 0.37. Part A How much thrust must the jet's engines provide to cruise at 240 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.9 kg/m³? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
